Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of DC and Vertigo Comic Books Featuring The Shadow and Lucifer
This lot consists of an assortment of comic books from DC Comics and its Vertigo imprint, featuring two distinct series. The first group includes five issues from the 1973-1974 run of The Shadow, specifically issues 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. Issue 1 is identified as the first DC Comics issue of this title. Cover artists for this series include Michael William Kaluta for issues 1 through 3 and Frank Robbins for issues 5 and 6. The second group is a significant run of the Vertigo series Lucifer, written by Mike Carey. The collection contains approximately 27 issues from the early 2000s, including issue numbers 3, 5, 12, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 38, 41, and 45. Issue 41 features the Vertigo X tenth-anniversary branding. Artist credits on these covers include Peter Gross, Ryan Kelly, Dean Ormston, David Hahn, Chris Weston, and James Hodgkins. Most comics are housed in protective clear bags with backing boards.
Condition report:
The comic books are ungraded. The vintage Shadow issues show typical signs of shelf wear consistent with age, such as minor spine stress lines, slight blunting at the corners, and light surface wear, though covers remain bright. The modern Lucifer issues appear to be in very good to fine condition, stored flat with occasional minor corner dings or light scuffing to the glossy covers. No significant structural damage, detached covers, or major staining is visible.
